If you have "city water" it is actually beneficial to your teeth as it has flouride added to it to help prevent decay Pure water itself has essentially no effect on teeth, since the solubility of tooth enamel in water is very small. However, a high amount of fluid/saliva in the mouth for extended periods can contribute to an environment that permits faster plaque buildup; this is sometimes noted by dentists among people who breathe solely through their mouths.

Asked in Nutrition
Is carbonated water bad for teeth?
All acids, including carbonated water, are corrosive and hence
bad for teeth. Teeth should be brushed relatively soon after
consuming carbonated beverages. Intake of carbonated beverages has
not been associated with increased bone fracture risk in
observational studies, and the net effect of carbonated beverage
constituents on the amount of calcium in the body is negligible,
leaving carbonated water as harmless as regular water.
You should watch out for the sugars and acids that are put into
carbonated water when it relates to teeth.
